Beverly Hicks, LCMHC, LMFT

Beverly Hicks is a licensed therapist with thirty years of clinical experience in North Carolina. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, life transitions, addictions, grief, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Her work also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting struggles, ADHD, and a wide range of trauma and attachment concerns.

Beverly uses a compassionate, faith-informed stance that respects each person's values and life story. She emphasizes listening first and then shaping practical steps that match a person's goals. Sessions focus on clear, doable strategies and on understanding patterns that keep people stuck.

Her toolkit includes Client-Centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, EMDR for trauma processing, and solution-focused strategies. Beverly adapts these approaches to the person in front of her rather than following a single protocol.

Over three decades she has supported people through major life changes, caregiving stress, adoption and foster-care challenges, and grief after loss. She also helps people manage workplace strain, codependency, and compassion fatigue while building healthier routines and boundaries.

Beverly aims to make therapy practical and anchored in the values each client brings. She works with clients to set clear, achievable steps and to measure progress along the way. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s start process to match and schedule sessions.

How Beverly’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, mood, and unhelpful behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve how people relate to themselves and others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Beverly will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then adapt methods to fit those needs. She combines approaches when that best serves the client's progress, and checks in regularly to adjust the work together.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, help with shorter check-ins between tasks, and reduce travel time. It can also allow a therapist to use EMDR-informed techniques and CBT exercises in ways that fit a client's schedule. Speak with the matching team to confirm how sessions will be scheduled and to find the best format for your needs.
